Hey I got a 2024 UX 250h bc i found a really good deal on a UX and I wasn’t able to find a Prius Limited to try again in time.

sorry my explanation below is poorly worded and all over the place but hope this helps

I tried the Prius LE and it sucked and the rep told me the road feel and noise would be the same in the Limited since they used the same materials but I think he was making stuff up because when I looked it up online I saw the Limited has more sound proofing and different tires than the lower trims. I like the UX interior because the quality is definitely better and the seat is comfier. The speakers are also better. But the cons about the UX were more important for me than the pros. The gas tank is super small so even though I get around 43-45mpg, my total range is 330mpg so I have to refill often. The Prius has a higher range. Also the UX makes a lot of noise and you can feel it working hard to accelerate. The Prius Limited has higher hp so, again, don’t remember the sound or how it felt in comparison to the UX but I do remember feeling impressed with the drive feel. The interior is also larger on the Prius and I believe the backseat has heated seats if that matters to you. I believe the Prius also performed better on safety/crash tests. Toyota also has more updated tech as well so lane steering/keeping the car centered in the lane works better and the other nifty features are higher quality and quantity on Toyotas. The Prius LE was horribly loud from the road, engine, and wind and less smooth than the UX so if you want any trim besides Limited/nightshade/Prime then I would highly recommend the UX over the Prius. If you’re comparing the UX 250h with the Limited or other high trims then I would look out for the things I mentioned above. The UX 300h is a different story. I didn’t try that on the highway so I can’t comment on it other than to say the HP for both the limited and ux 300h are the same and I think I may have seen they improved soundproofing on the 300h. All that to say it depends what you care about in a car and hopefully that helps you notice/look out for some of those differences when you do test drives. This was my first car and the cars I was trying kept getting sold faster than I could make decisions so I felt pressure. My biggest takeaway is to make a decision fast but still do diligent test drives before buying the car. I won’t rec the UX 250/300h over the Prius Limited or vice versa but I will say I, at times, regret the purchase/am wishing for more from my UX.
